that much material in such a short span of time? i hope his music doesnt suffer for it

yea

i already think he's fallin off a lil. Maybe cus he changed his style up. I like him more as a Food and Liquor lupe. Maybe he'll release one more album in his career that sounds similiar. But then again it's Lupe...

MTV already stated that the list had nothing to do with real skills. It was merely the rappers who had the hottest buzz and kept putting out consistent material.

if in fact the list included skills, delivery, wordplay, and all the other elements that make a good "rapper", then he'd definitely be on that list, and he knows it.

Agree. This list is put out every year, its basically "who's doing the most and making the most impact of the year." How is Drake #3 right now? If its all about buzz, why was Kid Cudi and Wale left off?

Why the fuck would Wale be on the list? I understand cudi since he had a large amount of buzz and i was also puzled that he wasn't on the list but there is no way you can compare the visibility of Drake, Ye, Gucci, and the rest of the list to Wale.

This is kinda off topic but what do you think the first verse on dumb it down about?

This is such a vague question because there is multiple meaning for that verse. Basically he's saying he's blinded (peerless). To peer is to look, but your equals are also your peers, so he's basically saying he's peerless, meaning nobody can compare to him. But how he describes his blindness is so crazy, he says his "windshield is minstrel". Minstrel shows came about in the late 1800's where white and even black actors would paint their face black and act out southern african-american sterotypes. But if you painted the windshield black, you wouldn't be able to see, hence the blindness.

Then he makes a little matrix reference. How he took both pills, cause Lupe can make songs that are about some social problem and then he can make hit records like Superstar. Then he describes a vampire, and how clear it would be in the mirror. Basically things are becoming clear, because Lupe is bringing them to light (songs like "gotta eat" and "he say, she say"). And among all the dead, Lupe has a pocket full of posies, which were kept in the time of the plague as a means to cover up the stench of dead bodies. Maybe compared to Lupe, other rappers are dead? I don't know.
